Superbly edited compilation. Such a variety of responses to Scripture! The editors include relevant Scriptures in the King James version -- a translation that sings with it's own special poetic notes. Inspirational.

This two-volume set is a wonderful introduction to both classic poetry and the stories and lyricism of the Bible. Each volume presents a collection of poems by well-known poets that were either drawn from Bible imagery or inspired by the stories of the Bible. The poetic intepretations of these well-known stories are so powerful that one feels carried back to Biblical times. An excellent and absorbing read.
